A fantastic experience with MIG, who is patient, personable, and knowledgeable. He explained everything in as much detail as we desired. His insights into the locations opened up doors in our minds. Our driver, Walid, is a caring individual and a very skillful navigator of the roads. He got us to our destinations in a timely manner, despite the horrific traffic.

Well organised, punctual pickup, great driver and guide. Visited four sites in Alexandria, which were all very interesting. Our driver was always waiting to pick us up as we left each site and our guide, Meg, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Lunch was delicious. Definitely recommend the day trip to Alexandria.

Our guide Mig did a great job of explaining all of the complex history surrounding the many sites in Alexandria. Our driver did a masterful job getting us around without giving us a heart attack. Our only negative about the tour was that in the reviews it was mentioned how the guide was so informative on the ride to Alexandria from Cairo. However, our guide met us in Alexandria which means that we couldn't talk to anyone about what we were seeing (our wonderful driver didn't speak English). Otherwise, the tour was great. And lunch was really good with a view of the sea.

Today was such a wonderful day! Sheriff picked me up from my hotel, and we went together to Alexandria. He was very professional and drove safely and carefully throughout the entire trip. Alexandria is an amazing place, and after seeing all the important sights, Sheriff picked me up and we headed back to Cairo. He was very kind, polite, and helpful throughout the day. He also made sure I had all the water I needed. I really enjoyed the trip and would definitely recommend it!

I had an amazing day trip to Alexandria with Mig as my guide, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We visited the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, Qaitbay Citadel, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, and Pompey’s Pillar, and Mig made every stop so interesting with his detailed knowledge and stories. He was extremely friendly, professional, and attentive throughout the entire day. Since I was traveling alone, I especially appreciated how comfortable and well taken care of he made me feel. He also did a great job explaining the history and significance of each place without making the tour feel rushed. I really enjoyed my day in Alexandria thanks to Mig, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone visiting Egypt. Thank you, Mig, for such a wonderful day!
